Ingredients
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 shot espresso
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon whipped cream
Instructions
- Heat the eggnog: Warm 1 cup of eggnog in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
- Prepare the espresso: Brew 1 shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
- Combine eggnog and espresso: Pour the hot eggnog into a mug and add the freshly brewed espresso. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
- Add spices: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon evenly over the top of the latte to enhance warmth and flavor.
- Top with whipped cream: Finish by adding 1 tablespoon of whipped cream on top for a creamy, festive touch before serving immediately.
Notes
- Use full-fat eggnog for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- You can adjust the cinnamon and nutmeg amounts to your taste preference.
- For a non-alcoholic version, ensure your eggnog is alcohol-free.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily multiplied for more servings.
- Use freshly ground espresso for the best aroma and taste.
